you let a guy front a $2 million fundraiser who thinks the president of the united states was not born in the united states. >> i think it is a mystery especially for a candidate whose task is to reach some independent voters who will find this extreme. president obama was born in hawaii. the only advantage i can see for mitt romney is that it helps him -- donald trump is helping him raise money. i think it comes to some considerable cost to mitt romney. >> the las vegas son got ahold of campaign documents. the goal is to raise $2 million. $657,000 is already pledged. people keep asking why mitt romney wants donald trump around. is it as simple as money, david? >> pretty much. the president is going to raise a lot of money and mitt romney needs to compete. i think what we have found over the years is that a lot of us do a lot of talking about this person helping this candidate raise money and this weird person helping that candidate raise money. they know it takes money to win elections. unless somebody is really extreme and outside the mainstream it doesn't matter at the end of the da

that the united states can make it appear, perhaps by opening the supply lines essential to our drawing down troops in afghanistan. the fury that has been articulated so eloquently by both the armed services committee reflects a bipartisan outrage at the pakistanis dealing so mercilessly and unfairly and unjustly with someone who brought to justice one of the monsterous murderers of all time. >> the head of the ruling party talked with andrea mitchell. this is the argument he made about the arrest. here it is. >> unfortunately, andrea, that anyone collaborating with foreign intelligence, even of a friendly country, anywhere in the world is a crime. >> he makes it sound very logical, senator, we were just following our own laws. where is the problem in that? >> logical if you are in a kind of alice in wonderland, where the opposite of the truth is taken as the truth. and the fact of the matter is that the pakistanis have said consistently that they were not harboring osama bin laden, that they wanted to assist the united states in tracking him down, and then when one of their citizens in fact

able to succeed in the united states given where he's come from. but he's a young candidate, he's not been vetted. he doesn't have that brand recognition that you want from a vp. the fact that he can't solidify florida himself, i think it's much better to have him out there, across the state talking about his experience but bringing in a more mature candidate, maybe someone like mitch daniels. >> we heard earlier this week that mitch daniels would unplug the phone if he thought the call was coming. maria, thank you so much. >>> after decades of authoritarian rule, egyptians are voting en masse, choosing their president freely since hosni mubarak's resignation last spring. the polls opened up, but after a run-off, the winner won't be announced until june 21st.

this focus that the united states seemed to have on osama bin laden, and obviously that obama had on osama bin laden. are they just trying to say, hey, barack obama is the better decisionmaker here, he was decisive, made the right decisi decision, and look at the result? >> absolutely. that's probably fair game. it's going to be tricky for romney to back away from past statements but he did say them. in subsequent weeks at the time he said that in 2008 and what romney did say is it was a problem that was bigger than just one person, just one man, that he would go after the whole apparatus. but he down played the importance of bin laden at that time. he did make those remarks and later said, of course, he, too, would go after bin laden. but it seems to me he said those comments. they're obviously fair game. in the moment, you have to remember president bush had spent at that point seven years himself trying to go after bin laden and failed to do so. and by that time, president bush was saying, yes, it's bigger than any one person himself. so i think now, again, it's something that romney is

in 2013 and to be sure they can stand up enough afghanny troops to ensure the united states would be able to stop what would be offensive military hostilities in afghanistan and to transition from what is a counterinsurgency campaign to more of a counterterrorism campaign in afghanistan. i think the reality on the wall, jeff, is that once the french decided to pull the plug on their troops, leaving the united states is the last country in nato to keep the lights on in afghanistan was not a position the president wanted to be in. >> general mccaffrey, in your unique position, having sat in these meetings but apparently and reportedly the president made this decision about the withdrawal without much input from the military's top brass. what kind of friction exists already between the military and the white house on this issue and what kind of friction happened because of this decision? >> well, probably very little friction. at the end of the day, generally allen sitting on the ground in afghanistan has a real problem. we're coming out. we've told the entire world that. even getting out of

deals? >> andrea, there's only one guy who's running for president of the united states and offering this as his credential to be president. and we're having a fundamental debate about how we build the economy. >> and that debate is going to include, at least part of it is going to be about bain capital. the president admitting that yesterday as well. that's the same strategy that was used successfully to a certain extent in the primary against mitt romney as well. how can team romney, how can they in a better way respond more effectively to this bain capital stuff? >> it's really just sort of constant recitation and reputatire repetition of what they've said. relying on people to make an instinctive connection between someone who's been successful in the private sector and between economic policy competence. there's a tendency for people to make that connection. the romney people are banking on that people have that instinctive connection and they look at where the economy is now. very high economic anxiety. a sense that things aren't nearly going in the direction they should be. th

fact that the president was born in the united states. people who support him are entitled to have their own opinions. we thought it was interesting yesterday that mitt romney at his las vegas rally in his speech talked about of all the people he met one particular person and what he says they told him yesterday. this is mitt romney from vegas yesterday. >> i was speaking with one of these business owners who owns a couple of restaurants in town. he said i like to change the constitution. i'm not sure i can do it. i would like to have a provision in the constitution that in addition to the age of the president and the citizenship of the president and the birth place of the president being set by the constitution i would like it also to say that the president has to spend at least three years working in business. >> why in the middle of this controversy if you want to sort of separate yourself from the donald trumps of the world and birthers why make a reference of all the people that you talk to to something that has to do with the birth place of the president? >> well, romney is t

. what is it that he has done as the president of the united states over the last four years? has he established the revicinitiliation he promised he would bring to us? >> he flipped it, deflected. >> i asked him several times, i wanted him to be clear he flipped it to talk about the president. gave one answer about energy was strong compared how he normally answered it. he wants the election to be about the president and the last three-and-a-half years. he has to engage and began to yesterday when i talked to him, he will have to do more, almost certainly will come up in their debates. his goal is to have the election be about the president's record, i think you will see him flip it the way he did in the sound bite. >> most fascinating part of the interview was after we have seen that the president's promising of 8% unemployment rate has been really gone after by the republicans, you sit down with mitt romney and he says to you, i'm going to bring you an even lower unemployment rate, let me play that clip. >> i can't possibly predict precisely what the unemployment rate will be afte

for attacking the united states. but we are increasingly concerned that mr. obama does not have a clear policy to ensure that the country does not implode once the americans are gone." do you think there is a clear plan here? he just didn't necessarily detail it last night or -- >> well, i think there is a general plan, yes. the plan is that over the next year and a half u.s. combat forces will slowly leave the count country at the end of 2014 from will be a supporting role only and not combat forces. >> can i put those numbers up? 88,000 u.s. troops approximately are there now. 23,000 will come home by september so do the math. 60,000 plus will still be there in september. >> right. by the end of 2014, those -- in theory, those 60,000 will be gone. and here's the issue "the new york times" editorial was raising. up until now, the strategy appeared to have been to break the taliban's momentum that began a couple of years ago and build such strength that the taliban would come to the negotiating table so that before american forces left, some peace agreement, some national reconciliation could

that he and his family now want to go to the united states so he can pursue his studies. >> but the administration's handling of mr. chen's situation has become political fodder for candidate mitt romney. listen to what he had to say -- >> our embassy failed to put in place the verifiable measures that would ensure the safety of mr. chen and his family. if these reports are true, this is a dark day for freedom and it's a day of shame for the obama administration. we are a place of freedom. here and around the world and we should stand up and defend freedom wherever it is under attack. >> in fact, the chinese government now says they will accept mr. chen's plection for travel documents but there is no telling how long that process could take. pull on those gardening gloves. and let's see how colorful an afternoon can be. with certified advice to help us expand our palette... ...and prices that give us more spring per dollar... ...we can mix the right soil with the right ideas. ...and bring even more color to any garden. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the hom

because he thought they weren't concentrating enough on attacking the united states and, in fact, were killing too many muslims which he thought was bad pr for al qaeda. there was one other thing in there, in my brief read so far this morning that was very interesting. according to the analysts who looked at this, they found no direct connection to any individual within the pakistani government. of course, it was long suspected that pakistani officials were cooperating, and in fact may have helped conceal bin laden the the there, but what bin laden refers to in his writings are his trusted pakistani brothers. but no names were revealed. chris. >> more to come. jim miklaszewski, thanks for the early read on those documents. >>> mitt romney is closing the gap in several key swing states and a big part of the reason is the question. a brand-new quinnipiac poll shows romney edging the president by a point in florida. things there too close to call, obviously. the president takes the lead in ohio but same deal, within the margin of error. only in pennsylvania is the president comfortably ah
